A Night Well Spent

On Friday nights I can usually be found out in the town with my friends. It may be bowling, relaxing at a park, strolling the downtown areas, exploring, or just having a grand ole time being weird at someones household. This Friday however, was different. I spent it on my own...for the most part as I was surrounded by lots of people. I...well..wait. How did it go again?...

Oh Right! I grabbed my camera, my tripod, my camera stick, and off I went. First of all, I stood along side the road of Eagle. Which I believe is the busiest road in Idaho. After setting up my tripod and my camera, I attempted to do some cool night shots of the cars going by. You see, I absolutely adore photography, and do a lot of it, BUT I don't actually know that much photography things. Such as how to get enough exposure to be able to get the picture I was aiming for...instead I got these.

and even this...

So.. I decided to hop on my long-board, and take a trip to the Village which was practically in the same parking lot. 

At this point in time (get it...time...), I got to talking with some pretty awesome people! 

After a break of talking, my pictures continued. I ended up at the fountain at perfect timing, as the big show was beginning. 

The beauty of settings.

I liked the lamp posts. 

This here is practically my favorite store in the Village. It is a home decor store, with everything my style! 

I could just sit on a bench, and relax at this place. It is so peaceful, and has the perfect lighting, music, and tone. 

I also liked the brick walls

Finally, I may or may not have thought this said Skryim. I think it's time I play it again.

I may not have been with my friends as usual, and this was something I never have really done before, but I loved it. Going, doing what you love for hours and hours is satisfying. I definitely plan on doing more photography trips in the future...maybe even this weekend. I will be honest and say it was weird going into the public and taking pictures of...well everything. Although awkward, I had a few people ask me about my photography, and some even asked me to take their photo on their phone because I looked professional enough to do so. 

I never felt more like myself, and I felt so confident going out doing what I love. OH...and you can't forget I had my favorite beanie on so that helps! 

I always believed no matter where you are, as long as you're doing what you love doing, you're going to be happy.
